Hello Everyone and Welcome Back!

Today you will see a Shape Of The Week – Tuesday to Friday Page at the top of the blog.  The page provides you with the activities and assignments you are encouraged to complete by the end of this week.  There are 4 reading passages from READ WORKS, 1 creative writing assignment (poetry) and some math activities to access and explore.

I realize that everyone is on a different learning journey within our grade 2/3 class.  The reading passages have a range between grades 2-4.  All reading passages and questions have an audio option.  I encourage students to read as much as they can independently but absolutely use the read aloud option for support. At the end of each passage you are directed to move on to the question portion of the activity. The first  few questions are multiple choice.  The remaining questions require you to create an answer.  Again, everyone is moving at their own academic pace.  Therefore, some of you will answer only the multiple choice questions.  Some of you will answer all the questions.  And some of you will answer multiple choice for some reading passages and all answers for other reading passages.  Whatever works best for you this week.  The only request I have is that you make sure you click SUBMIT after you have completed whatever you can for each story.

I have also made the time frame for the reading passages the entire week.  I am hoping you are able to complete 1 story a day but if it works better to complete 2 on one day, you can.  Please try to complete all 4 but it is expected that you complete what suits your learning needs.  I am keeping scores private for this week.

If you have any questions about the READING PASSAGES, please not hesitate to email me joanne.enchelmaier@burnabyschools.ca or comment on this post.  I do realize that even reading the daily blog posts requires parent support so I fully understand that parent guidance is necessary.  Thank you so very much for being a partner in this with me. Hopefully, more student independence will develop over the coming weeks.

Please work through the other activities listed in the Shape of The Week.  No other assignments will be given this week other than those listed on the Shape Of The Week Page. I will add a blog post daily. By the end of the week, the cinquain can be emailed to me, scanned and attached to an email or even sent through a comment on one of this weeks blog posts. The Mrs. E. Doll photo can be emailed to me.  Just remember to add your name to any work sent in.   It is expected that at least one of the activities will be shared with me.

Have a terrific Tuesday!  Mrs. E.
